SEKI SATELLITE, Seoul - TELE-satellite International Magazine

COMPANY REPORT
“Seki” is a Korean word that roughly
translated means “century”. SEKI SATEL-
LITE is a Korean company that is all about
the satellite century. An interesting name
and reason enough for us to pay them a
visit.
We found them in the suburb of Jung-Gu
not too far from downtown Seoul. Founder
and owner is Oh Hwan Jung. “I started
the company in 1989 and began by erecting
antennas”, he explained thinking back
to those early days. In the meantime the
company has grown and now employs three
technical engineers and six sales team
members. So many sales people? “Today
we are a satellite wholesaler”, comments
Oh Hwan Jung. He estimates that he ships
about 60% of the satellite components sold
within South Korea. This makes SEKI SAT-
ELLITE the market leader.
Eui-Jin Kim is their Technical Manager
and rushes to the closest PC in order to
filter out and print their latest sales figures
via their Intranet. Looking at an particular
month, we can see that SEKI SATELLITE is
in first place in sales of the SKC-8000 FTA
receiver. “This is a model from the Korean
manufacturer Jiwoo”, explained Eui-Jin
Kim. The statistics showed that 720 of
these were sold in one month and thereby
made up 8.17% of their sales. Right behind
that at 6.26% was the good-old “F” connector
that shipped 552 in that month. In
Not far from the Yaksu Metro station, where lines 3 and
6 cross, the SEKI SATELLITE offices can be found. They
also distribute the PayTV services from the Korean DTH
operator SkyLife.
Oh Hwan Jung is founder
and owner of SEKI
SATELLITE, one of the
largest satellite wholesalers
in South Korea.
